Eric Massa makes Mark Foley look incredibly clean

This guy was completely out of control. The Washington Post has this amazing description of this completely crazy sexual predator. You can read the Washington Post piece here. I fail to see the symmetry in the way the Massa and Foley cases were covered by the media.

A onetime aide to former Rep. Eric Massa has filed a complaint with the congressional Office of Compliance alleging that he and other staffers were subjected to various forms of sexual harassment by their boss, who resigned in March amid an ethics investigation into his behavior toward aides.

The filing, for the first time, raises the specter that Massa’s case could end up in the legal sphere.

Debra Katz, the attorney for the former aide, says a complaint alleges that Massa, a freshman Democrat from New York, “subjected my client and other young gay men” to “unwelcome touching, sexual propositions, groping, sexualized comments” and similar forms of harassment both inside his official congressional office and outside of it. . . .
